Northern Ireland’s First Minister Michelle O’Neill has not yet formally responded to a request that she make a commitment to not resign.

Opposition leader Matthew O’Toole wrote to Ms O’Neill and deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly asking for a commitment from both to not resign, a move which would effectively collapse the Assembly.
